Actor Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi became proud parents to a baby boy today, bringing joy to the Konidela family and the Telugu film industry. The actor took to social media to share the happy news, prompting an immediate outpouring of well-wishes from family members, celebrity friends, and fans.
The news marks a new and exciting chapter for the beloved couple, who tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Italy last year. The birth of their son has brought immense happiness, not only to them but also to the entire Konidela family, including proud grandfather Nagababu and the newest grand-uncle, megastar Chiranjeevi.
A Joyous Announcement from Varun Tej
Varun Tej announced the birth of his son with a heartfelt social media post. He shared an intimate, monochrome photo from the hospital, where he is seen doting on his wife, Lavanya, as she cradles their newborn. The emotional picture was accompanied by a simple yet powerful caption that captured the essence of the moment.
“Our little man 💙 10.09.2025,” he wrote, confirming the date of birth and expressing his joy.
The news quickly drew a wave of congratulatory wishes, with megastar Chiranjeevi, Varun Tej’s uncle, among the first to express his joy. He was seen rushing from a film set to the hospital to meet the newborn. Chiranjeevi later shared a picture of himself holding his new grandnephew, with a big smile on his face.
A Look at His Professional Journey and Upcoming Projects
The arrival of his son comes at a time when Varun Tej is on a very busy professional schedule. The actor was last seen in the bilingual film ‘Operation Valentine,’ where he played an Indian Air Force pilot in a patriotic drama. The film, which was simultaneously shot in both Telugu and Hindi, received a mixed response from audiences but was praised for its action sequences and Varun Tej’s performance.
He is currently filming for ‘Matka,’ an action-thriller set against the backdrop of the 1960s, which is reportedly one of his most ambitious projects to date. He is also set to star in an untitled horror-comedy, tentatively known as ‘VT 15,’ which is being directed by Merlapaka Gandhi. This film is generating a lot of buzz as it is rumoured to be an Indo-Korean collaboration, promising a unique cinematic experience.
Despite his packed professional commitments, the actor has made it clear that his family remains his top priority. His recent social media posts, which included glimpses of a babymoon with Lavanya and other preparations, showed his excitement about embracing fatherhood.
The Legacy of a Beloved Couple
Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi’s relationship has always been a topic of public interest. The couple first met on the sets of their 2017 film Mister and reportedly dated for several years before making their relationship public. Their engagement in June 2023 was a major event, followed by a beautiful and intimate wedding in Tuscany, Italy, in November of the same year.
Throughout their relationship, they have been admired for their chemistry and grace, both on and off-screen. The news of their baby boy is a perfect culmination of their journey and a cause for celebration for their fans who have followed their story.
